Default Re: Mictlan , how to play it effectively

The amount of blood required for that cannot possibly be viable.
It certainly is viable, and Mictlan actually has to be careful to not overwhelm the dominion of your neighbours.

Quote:
Not to mention the time spent hunting for slaves when other dominions can be actively preaching against you.
No dominion can actively preach against you unless they've already conquered your provinces. Preaching does not spread dominion outside of the province that it happens in.

Quote:
As things stand, those temples look like a huge waste of cash that you are unlikely to be able to afford considering you'll be running blood provinces.
They are easy to afford once you've stopped purchasing troops and switched over to Mictlan Priests and capital-based mages.

Quote:
Mictlan is weak and needs too much micromanagment to be viable.
Mictlan ain't weak, and the micromanagement consists of little more than selecting your hunters in each province and pressing 'Z'.

Even the AI gets mullered with it most games :- I've seen one strong Mictlan AI in about 100 games.
That's not a surprise, since the AI doesn't play blood nations effectively at all.
